Unarmed Man Is Charged With Wounding Bystanders Shot by Police Near Times Square

That's my point exactly. My opinion of a police department that substitutes training with triggers isn't very good. The point of the NY Trigger is to make the trigger squeeze more than 2 times as hard as it is on normal duty Glock. This is the thought process...it will be harder to pull the trigger so therefore fewer accidental shootings will happen. We all know...especially on this board....that accuracy only comes with training and no tool will change that.

And we all know exactly how much training outside of qualifying most LE's do. To me the nypd has as many officers who actually shoot in their off time as the boulder PD does, not many. Budget restraints, higher up / political mentality, puts actual range time / stress training somewhere below the union supporting a republican for office, in WIS. it is virtually non-existent. I know a few NYPD RO's and the stories i have been told (1st hand) you might as well have Tom Mauser as the firearm inst.
